WARNING!
Hazard warning:
Incorrect installation or repair of Webasto heating systems may cause a fire or result in the
emission of carbon monoxide, which can be fatal. Serious or fatal injuries can be caused as
a result.
Specialist company training, technical documentation, specialised tools and equipment are
required to install and repair Webasto heating and cooling systems.
Only original Webasto parts must be used. For this, also see the catalog of air and water heat-
er accessories from Webasto.
NEVER attempt to install or repair Webasto heating or cooling systems if you have not
successfully completed the company training and thereby acquired the required tech-
nical skills, or if you do not have access to the required technical documentation, tools
and equipment needed to carry out correct installation and repairs.
ALWAYS follow all Webasto installation and repair instructions and observe all warnings.
The initial startup is to be executed with the Webasto Thermo Test Diagnosis.
Webasto does not accept any liability for defects and damage that are attributable to installa-
tion by untrained staff.

Foreword
This installation documentation applies to Open Astra H vehicles - for validity, see page 2 - from model
year 2004 and later, assuming technical modifications to the vehicle do not affect installation, any lia-
bility claims excluded. Depending on the vehicle version and equipment, modifications may be neces-
sary during installation with respect to this installation documentation.
However, where this is the case the stipulations in this "installation documentation" and "operating in-
structions" and the "installation instructions" for the Thermo Top C should be observed.
The corresponding rules of technology and any information from the vehicle manufacturer should be
observed during the installation work.
General Instructions
Installation should be carried out according to the general, standard rules of technology. Unless spec-
ified otherwise, fasten hoses, lines and wiring harnesses to original vehicle lines and wiring harnesses
